PEORIA, Ill. -- After a week off from competition, Bradley Men's Golf returns to action this week with the lone single-day event on the fall schedule as the Braves travel to Burlington, Iowa, to take part in the Spirit Hollow Fall Shootout Wednesday.

Bradley will join Missouri Valley Conference rivals Drake and Valparaiso in the three-team event, which will tee off Wednesday at 11 a.m. at the par-72 Spirit Hollow Golf Course. Each team will have six individuals playing with the top four finishers counting for the team score in the single-round stroke-play event.

Junior Josh Kirkham has been Bradley's top finisher in all four outings this year and is coming off back-to-back top-20 finishes after tying for 11th at the Derek Dolenc Invitational last week. Kirkham, who fired a career-best 68 in the second round of the Derek Dolenc Invite, has shot 75 or better in eight of his 12 rounds this year and owns a team-best 74.33 stroke average this season.

Transfer Aaeri Krishnan has played in each of the last three outings for the Braves and is second on the team with a 78.33 stroke average. Krishnan posted his lowest 54-hole score of the year (228) at the Derek Dolenc Invitational and shot 78 or lower in each of his last five rounds.

Senior Jalen Hodges opened the Derek Dolenc Invite with his lowest round of the year (71) and owns a 74.50 average over his last four rounds after tying for 38th at 225 at last week.

Junior Roy Radke carded the lowest round of his Bradley career with a final round 71 to wrap up play at the Derek Dolenc Invitational and owns a 76.67 stroke average over the last two tournaments.

Rounding out the Bradley lineup are sophomore Brady Kreiter and junior John Stillman. Both individuals posted their lowest 54-hole scores of the year last week in Madison, Ill., with Stillman opening the Derek Dolenc Invite with his lowest round of the year (74).

The Braves follow up the Spirit Hollow Fall Shootout with the Flyer Invitational in Kettering, Ohio, Oct. 18 & 19 to close out the fall schedule.
